Chapter 6844 Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze
Even though Long Chen thought he was mentally prepared, seeing Huo Linger appear left him completely speechless.
Long Chen hadn’t held any ulterior motives for saving the sect master at first. But as things unfolded, he realized Huo Linger could copy exactly how the sect master formed his inner and outer manifestation.
Huo Linger really did manage it. As she sent her energy into the sect master, she could sense every movement of his core energy.
She watched every step as the sect master formed his inner and outer manifestation. As a flame spirit, she copied it easily and advanced straight to the Divine Sovereign realm.
It was almost like she had gained the sect master’s years of cultivation. But he didn’t notice and hadn’t lost anything. In the end, he was saved and advanced, so both of them benefited.
“Hmm, this power is strong, but it is not my Dao. It’s just a direction for me to follow,” Huo Linger said.
Fortunately, she did not let her newly inflated power get to her head. Long Chen sighed in relief when he heard it.
He could clearly tell that Huo Linger’s double manifestation was still nowhere near Cang Lu’s level.
Given Huo Linger’s strength, that shouldn’t have been the case. It meant the sect master’s double manifestation didn’t really fit her.
But just like Huo Linger said, having the sect master’s experience gave her something to learn from as she found her own Dao. It would help her a lot when she formed her own double manifestation.
As a double manifestation Divine Sovereign, she could still help Long Chen face many dangers, although she was a bit weaker than Cang Lu.
“Little brother, you saved my life. As long as you need anything, I, Chi Yunfeng, will not hesitate to repay you, even if it costs me my life!” said the sect master emotionally.
Even though he was moved by the powerful energy inside him, Chi Yunfeng stayed calm as the sect master. He made his promise to Long Chen in his own name, not on behalf of the Flame God Sect, so his sect and daughter wouldn’t be involved in his debt.
Long Chen saw through it right away and just smiled. That smile made Chi Yunfeng feel embarrassed. He realized this young man was actually very sharp and could read him easily.
However, Long Chen didn’t blame him. As the sect master, Chi Yunfeng’s duty was to the Flame God Sect, and his own life and honor came second.
Long Chen said, “Senior, your double manifestation is still in its early stage. Your Yuan Spirit is badly damaged, and your realm is unstable. You need to recuperate. This junior would like to give Senior some advice. Try to keep things as they are right now. Do not merge your inner and outer manifestation just yet. Give it some time.”
Chi Yunfeng was surprised. He thought merging the two was the only way to strengthen his double manifestation. However, he knew better than to doubt this mysterious young man.
“Many thanks for your warning, little brother. This breakthrough has left me too wounded to merge them even if I wanted to. Even if I had the guts, I just don’t have the strength,” Chi Yunfeng replied with a wry smile.
“Dad, you should rest,” Chi Yutong said worriedly. “As for the matter of the Flame God Sect, you can leave it to your daughter!”
Chi Yunfeng nodded and gently stroked his daughter’s hair with his large hand. Seeing her obedient appearance, he felt both gratified and pained.
He said, “Father wronged you this time and made you worry. When I leave seclusion, let’s see which idiots dare to talk trash about my Fire God Sect again. I’ll smash their balls—”
“Dad...!”
Hearing her father suddenly curse, Chi Yutong was both embarrassed and anxious. After all, Long Chen was still here. This was too humiliating.
Chi Yunfeng also felt awkward, but Long Chen said calmly, “Smashing them is fine. Just don’t say you’ll use them as drinking snacks. That I can’t accept.”
Chi Yunfeng hadn’t expected this cold-faced, mysterious youngster to have such a humorous side. He burst into laughter.
“Hahaha!”
Chi Yutong’s face flushed red. With the two men cursing so casually, she wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
She stopped Chi Yunfeng from continuing and carefully checked his condition. After confirming that he would recover, she ordered him to rest immediately. Then, she left with Long Chen.
“Divine daughter, the sect master...!” As soon as they came out, the elders surrounded them, their faces full of tension.
At this moment, Chi Yutong was no longer the little daughter from before. She regained the dignity and lofty air of a divine daughter and said, “The sect master has successfully condensed a double manifestation. He will come out of seclusion soon. However, this is a top-secret matter. It mustn’t spread beyond us.”
All of them were overjoyed to hear that the sect master was fine and had even successfully advanced.
“Divine daughter, we will not tell this to anyone, even in death!”
“Haha, we have a double manifestation Divine Sovereign now! Hmph, those bastards have always been mocking us and probing us rudely. When the sect master comes out of seclusion, he’ll kick—”
“Alright, that’s enough! Just keep it secret! Before the sect master comes out, just ignore them!” Chi Yutong hastily cut him off.
Only then did the elders leave excitedly. They were all core members of the Fire God Sect, so there was no need to worry about secrets leaking.
After sending Chi Yuluo away as well, Chi Yutong turned to Long Chen and said, “Brother Long, I... I don’t even know how I can thank you.”
She had only known Long Chen for less than half a day, but so much had happened. It felt like a dream now that she looked back on it.
She was extremely grateful that she had taken the initiative to pull Long Chen to her side. She had also been willing to fight for him. Had she not done that, she would have only been able to watch her father depart helplessly.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel afraid. Long Chen was far more of an enigma than she had thought.
Not only did he possess flame power, but he was also an extremely powerful alchemist and even had a replica of the primal chaos divine item, the Heaven Earth Cauldron.
Most importantly, no matter what he did, his gaze remained calm, as if nothing in this world could make him panic. It gave others an indescribable sense of security.
“You’re too courteous. I also benefited from helping your father. It was reciprocal,” said Long Chen.
Chi Yutong thought he was just being modest. She didn’t know that Long Chen had profited greatly this time. He had not only gained a double manifestation Divine Sovereign, but also laid a solid foundation for Huo Linger’s future.
“By the way, why is your sect called the Fire God Sect? You seem to follow the immortal path, right?” Long Chen suddenly asked.
Chi Yutong’s eyes darkened slightly, and she sighed. “We were forced to switch from the god path to the immortal path because the Fire God we worship has fallen into eternal slumber. He can no longer be awakened, nor can he protect us.”
“Can I... offer my respects to gun?” asked Long Chen suddenly.
In truth, this was what Huo Linger wanted him to say.
When Long Chen arrived deep underground and saw the massive dragon-shaped statue before him, his heart almost leaped out of his chest.
“The Heaven Vein Dragon Blaze?”
